Dickie's Show Rating: 7

Moshe talks about Judith Curren, Dr. Jack Kevorkian's 35th assisted suicide victim. Moshe had known poor Judy from the time he spent with her in a mental hospital. Moshe talks about his memory of Judy and attempts to poke a hole in the myth that Kevorkian's cause was righteous. Judy was a depressed woman who was not terminally ill. Like most of Kevorkian's victims, Judy was a woman, and was especially easy prey for Kevorkian, anxious to claim new bodies for his moral crusade.

Moshe also talks about what appears to be the racist refusal to honor W.E.B. DuBois' memory by naming a school after him in Massachusetts.
